Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. In Texas it is not a separate license — it is an Alzheimer's certification layered on a Type B license, and it carries physical plant requirements that are inspected on site.
We list 3 verified memory care options in Lakeway, Texas. Assisted living and memory care in Texas are licensed by HHSC as Type A or Type B based on residents' evacuation ability, and memory care additionally requires an Alzheimer's certification.
What to watch for with memory care in Lakeway
- Ask to see the Alzheimer's certification, not the license. Any community can market to dementia families; only a certified one has been inspected against the standard.

The Lakeway market specifically
Lakeway is an established Lake Travis retiree destination and a predominantly higher-end private-pay market, with several communities clustered near Medical Parkway. Medicaid-contracted options are scarce here, which matters if private funds are finite — worth asking about before a move rather than after.
The Medical Parkway cluster means several communities sit within a few minutes of each other, which makes same-day comparison tours practical. It also means the local market is small enough that availability can vanish quickly.
Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised, so ask the overnight ratio specifically rather than the daytime one.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to. Neither takes long and both tell you more than the brochure.
